Looks simple and clean, just needs a little bit of TLC.

that is correct, sir...

i paid $200 for this thing, with NASTY interior, bad Hf motor, bad brakes, bad everything...

So far Ive cleaned it up 110%, but the paint/body is still lacking...
New front rotors/pads... (rear disc waiting on ebrake cables)
Ground controls/ Tokico Blues
Evasive short shifter (dual bend), Trust ****
D15b2 (free) , plugs, wires, etc... and i have a z6 head going on shortly after paint is applied.
wire tuck in progress (slow)

etc, and so forth....

As we all know this is sometimes a slow process, but i am trying my best to turn this car around....

Thanks for all the comments...

Dont let my phot. skills fool ya (lol), this paint is beyond cleaning. What can you expect for an 18 year old car though..

I think the older wheels after the drop looked way better.
